what is the humidity for turkey eggs and for lockdown and do i take the turner out

I keep my humidity at about 50% until lockdown, then raise it to about 70 and lower the temp to about 95. Take the turner out. I had two turkeys lay in the same nest, and ended up with 27 eggs at different states of development. One hatched on the turner with 50% humidity, and a couple other cracked on the turner, so I don't think its quite as critical as some people make it sound.

Base on teh books I've read, its almost impossible to raise a turkey or a pig. Based on experience, it's pretty easy to do both...most of the time.
